I have had the camera for a little over six months. I purchased it new. The reason why I have so many batteries is because this summer I took a four week trip were there was no power available. I thought this was a cheaper way to go than to buy a solar panel. So the batteries were charged once and only used once during that trip. I did not use the camera daily but it does have around 6000 shutter actuations. Its in excellent shape I take really good care of my stuff, The reason I am selling it is because I'm just not using it any more, I also have a NEX camera that I use with Contax G lenses which work better on that format of sensor. And I also have a DSLR which I am also keeping since that is the camera my wife likes to use, Make me an offer I would rather see this go to someone rather than it just sit on my desk.It's a great camera that is small and takes wonderful pictures, The LCD also flips up that makes this model really nice to use.
